Trading tax places

February 26, 2007

Josh Goodman over at the 13th Floor, the fine blog that keeps track of state government goings-on for Governing magazine, has an interesting item today on how fiscal concerns are forcing some governors to deviate from the expected party paths.

Donkey_elephant_silhouettes_2 One state leader is touting the first budget in six years with no new taxes or tax increases, a veritable property tax relief budget. (Ties in nicely with my earlier post about local fiscal concerns in this area, don’t you think?)

Meanwhile, the other statehouse leader is pointing to the courage required to call for new taxes. For the details on which govs are crossing tax paths, why and what their actions really mean, check out the full 13th Floor post here.

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
